I have tried the creation of the email link but unfortunately, it's not working. I have read the two questions here and tried the suggested solutions but it wouldn't work.
Anyone with the know-how can please help.

I'm not sure if this totally breaks the code or not, but I'd get rid of the space between "mailto:" and "blablabla". I know the coding challenge won't accept it with a space there. Also, make sure you have the text you want to click on to start the email in-between the anchor tags.

Don't worry it's very easy to solve, at first I made your same mistake. You should write <a href="mailto: blablabla@XXX.com"> blablabla@XXX.com </a>. You've forgotten the link for the email. Let me know if it works.

*Make sure Mail is selected if you are wanting the click event to open a new email in Mail
